The Trump campaign appears to be riding high and operating optimistically headed into the final week of the presidential campaign.
The clearest sign of that comes in the form of a $25 million ad buy that includes new spots in Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Mexico, all of which are classified as leaning Democratic in the current ABC News state ratings.
The only of those three states that has recent reputable polling is Pennsylvania, the latest of which has Clinton leading by six points in the Oct. 16 Quinnipiac survey. Michigan hasn't voted Republican since 1988 and New Mexico has only voted Republican once since that same year.
Trump Deputy Campaign Manager David Bossie Expresses Confidence in Potential for Victory
A Split on Popular and Electoral College Vote Not Out of the Question
The campaign sent out a release saying that the significant ad buy comes as "an open acknowledgment that the campaign is surging in traditionally blue states as well as traditional battleground states."
All told, the buy will foot the bill for ads in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin, Virginia, Nevada and New Hampshire as well.
It comes after today's ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll has Trump earning 46 percent support nationally to Clinton's 45 percent, a difference within the margin of error.

Good...now we're talking.
A 1 or 2% popular vote win and an EC loss is possible. A popular vote win of 3 or more an EC loss is not going to happen.
IMHO, I’ll be very surprised indeed if Mr Trump does not carry PA, MI, OH, etc.
as long as he has enough trained poll watchers to cut down on the fraud
his economic message is far more than enough to win with....
but now that HilLIARy’s criminal racketeering with the powers of public office.......are exposed...... Trump could win by a big margin
Or right outside the liquor store nearest her campaign headquarters.
With her ambulance van nearby, for naps.
Even polls showing her leading show a downward trend...that indicates people at this point are increasingly deciding they don’t want to vote for her, but haven’t yet firmly said they are voting for Trump...that trend has occurred for both of them over the course of the campaign, but this is the last week, and it is happening in the last stretch of this occurring. Bernie Sanders’ words about the e-mails could prove to be prophetic: people don’t want to be hearing about that and her other numerous scandals for 4 to 8 years and will use this opportunity to try to get her out of the political picture...Clinton fatigue.
I wouldn’t doubt it.
I agree that it looks fishy for her to be expending energy in New York.
And Hillary is buying ad time there.
Were that to happen, I'm certain that you wouldn't hear the media drumbeat about the need for electoral college reform like we did in 2000. The "will of the people" wouldn't be as important today as it was in 2000.
They’re showing those same ads in Texas.
Those are most likely national ad buys. I have seen many anti-Trump ads here in Kentucky as well but they are almost certainly not being aired locally by Clinton’s campaign but on a national ad buy. I just saw one not too long ago during the World Series.
Nope, they’re in state ads.
I have seen *one* Killary sign, and that sign was totally surrounded by their neighbor's Trump signs.
It reminded me of this:
I’m reading lots of FB posts from people in NYC/Long Island, who claim they are seeing virtually no Killary signs or stickers, anywhere.
He needs to grab Oregon & Washington State too. They’re ripe for the taking. The Pacific NW overwhelmingly preferred Bernie over Sanders.
Oddly enough, I saw a couple Trump commercials in Chicago. I am pretty sure Illinois is no where near in play for him, but maybe not?
Landslide. Nov8... Best election evah ...
For a guy who was touted as “woefully ignorant and behind the power curve for ground games”, he’s done pretty well...
